Butler Street Blocks
The Apple building was originally called Oldham Court. A sixth block (Rodney Court) was part of the original development and is currently standing vacant awaiting redevelopment/demolition. Rodney Court is located on the opposite corner of Butler Street and Oldham Road and can be seen as the block on the right-hand side of the image. Butler Court is located behind the four blocks in the foreground and is therefore not visible. Details of Rodney Court are missing from the Tower Block Gazetteer.
